Stayed at the Sanctuary house for 2 months. Evan provided excellently check-in instruction gaining access to the room after-hours (1 am) was no problem. The location is a neighborhood to the business district - Lumphini. Many Thai folks live in the area, which is much better than having the majority of the folk's living in the area tourist, its a good mix of local and tourist. There are many local street food vendors within walking distance. I liked that Downtown Bangkok is far enough away but close using the BTS/MRT (local light rail). I arrived with 2 months worth of luggage and my golf clubs, I was surprised my room was on the 5th floor (no elevator). The description does say you "need to walk stairs". In the morning I let Evan know I wasn't happy with having to lug my golf clubs up 5 flight of stairs 3 times a week after playing golf. Evan understood and offer alternatives - a good host.
The entire welcome package was great. Local knowledge is always a plus. During the entire stay, I felt the location was safe (day and night). The modern washing machine on the roof was big plus/convenience during my 2-month stay. Internet access and TV service were fast, there weren't any network performance or speed issues during my stay. The bed, air conditioning, and bathroom are as described. The kitchen was used and has the needed supplies for Thai cooked meals (if anything is missing or needed Evan will assist). If you need groceries not available at the corner 7-11, there is a Big C (1.2km) nearby. I walked to the Big C but took a taxi back with all the groceries. There is also the 24 hour local 'fresh' market near the Big C also.
I will miss the local street food and the $200bht foot massages. :-)
